'Rich Kids Of Snapchat' Owner Is Looking To Sell For At Least $30,000 But Only To Another Rich Kid

"Rich Kids of Snapchat" is a Facebook page and Snapchat account
run by someone who claims to be a teenager in the UK. It's a riff
off of the popular "Rich Kids of Instagram" account, which now
has a TV show associated with it.

The Rich
Kids of Snapchat account put itself up for sale in a Snapchat
story this morning, offering to sell its Snapchat handle, which
it says has over 100,000 followers, and its Facebook
pages, which have over 500,000 likes, for more than $30,000.

The teen tried to sell the pages earlier this summer.

"Despite being offered $150,000 for this Facebook page and the Snapchat
account ‘richkidsnaps’ by an American advertising company, I
would like one of you, the users, to take over ‘Rich Kid Snaps’.
I don’t want a company coming along and ruining what I created,"
UK publication The Tab quoted the account owner in
July.

While the accounts have gotten a
lot of recognition, that doesn't mean they've been well received.
A bout of bad press caused the creator to write an apology on one
of his Facebook pages in July:

Hello,

Yes, this article is about me. Let me just make some things
clear: the photos on my Facebook page not just mine. They are
mainly the submissions that get sent to me. However, my snapchat
account, 'richkidsnaps', is all me of course (and add me if you
haven't already!).

It is important to note that I would never, ever, judge
someone based on their wealth. I created this page for
entertainment purposes only. I meant no offence whatsoever. The
Facebook page and my snapchat are completely different things. My
snapchat's sole purpose is to inspire other young people to go
out and achieve what they want to achieve. I show my extreme
lifestyle so that people can see that even me: someone who isn't
especially intelligent, and started with only £500 (when I was
12, I am now 17) is able to achieve great things.

I am deeply sorry to anyone who takes offence from this
whole thing. That was not my intention. I am running it
completely anonymously, for the reasons mentioned above. Feel
free to add me on Facebook and discuss anything you wish, also
feel free to add my snapchat 'richkidsnaps'.

When reached for comment,
Snapchat spokesperson Mary Ritti told Business Insider that the
company had terminated the "RichKidSnaps" account because the
attempted sale violated its terms of service.

Specifically it violates
Snapchat's rules that a user cannot "buy, sell, rent,
lease, or otherwise offer in exchange for any compensation,
access to a Snapchat account, Stories, Snaps, a Snapchat
username, or a friend link without Snapchat's prior written
consent." Ritti added, "As an aggregator, this
account also violates the ban on unauthorized API access."

Alex Priddis, who handles PR for
Rich Kids of Snapchat, declined to comment for this story.
